alpha-chymotrypsin and Puerperal-Disorders

Thirteen post-partum patients with symphysiolysis were treated by intra-symphysial injection of a combination of hydrocortisone, chymotrypsin and lidocain. The injection was given once a day and the full treatment consisted of between three to seven injections according to the severity of the symptoms. No other medication was given. Immediate relief was obtained in all cases after the first injection and all symptoms disappeared after the completion of treatment. The average time of hospitalization was 9.8 days. No complications were seen as a result of the treatment and the patients resumed their normal activities after being discharged from hospital. In comparison with other modes of treatment, the intra-symphysial injection of the above drug combination shortened the time of morbidity and effected complete recovery.
